Who are the NEWBEES?

We are actively engaged parents of students at the German International School Washington D.C. (GISW). We come from many different countries and cultures – and at one time we, too, were new to the school. The NEWBEES are organized by the Parents’ Council of the GISW, and work together with the School Administration and the Head of School.

What do the NEWBEES offer?

Our goal is to answer any questions you may have regarding life at the GISW.

We will be there to facilitate a smooth start at our school.

Upon request, we would like to put you in contact with a “Partner-Family”.

We organize NEWBEES-Breakfasts - this is a great opportunity to meet other parents.

We organize a series of NEWBEES -Talks which offer a wealth of useful information.

Who are “Partner-Families”?

“Partner-Families” are families at the GISW who volunteer to assist you and your children during your initial time at our school by answering your many questions.
